For an observer standing on the ground with h = 2 meters (6 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of 5 kilometers (3.1 mi).

The Earth curves about 8 inches per mile. As a result, on a flat surface with your eyes 5 feet or so off the ground, the farthest edge that you can see is about 3 miles away

Humans can see from 380–740 nanometers (nm)

So, the answer is no, if you can only barely see 3 miles away, then you wouldn't be able to read the name of a boat 3.1 miles away.

Lines 105-111: What do we learn about hale and Danforth characters from their dialogue in these lines
musickatia [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The lines present an indirect characterization of the characters, where we can know their characteristics through the dialogue.

In this case we can affirm, through the dialogue it is possible to recognize Danforth as a very serious and strict judge, since he demands that the depositions be based on evidence. Hale is very confident, as he believes I have proof for everything he wants to show.

This question is about the play "The crucible" that represents the moment of exteria and religiosity that promoted the Salem trials.
